The "value" attribute is not necessary here. The Struts framework will
retrieve the value of the "name" property from the form bean and populate
your form with it.

The values that the user put into your form have been collected by the
framework and put into a copy of the form bean, and that bean has been
supplied to your Action function. All you need to do is to retrieve it,
store it in the request object, create a list of errors and store it with
saveErrors(), then return mapping.getInputForward(). The framework will
access the bean you stored - which is the bean containing the data the user
submitted - and use that to populate the fields in the page that's being
reshown with error messages.
